Deep-Dyed Films Provide Protection from UV Rays and More
Flexvue™ deep dyed films utilize both water and solvent-based dying processes to produce custom colors of all types for our customers, ranging from basic black to fluorescents and patterns. A leader in film technologies, our proprietary process for deep dying was first developed in the mid-1950s and we are continually working to advance this technology. Today we offer a comprehensive selection of the most advanced dyed and colored polyester films available.
Our films are used in a wide range of product applications including protective laminates for electronic, solar energy and medical applications, solar control films and specialty UV-absorbing films that block 97% of damaging ultraviolet radiation. Using our proprietary technology in a state-of-the-art clean room manufacturing environment, we impregnate dyestuffs and UV absorbers throughout the matrix of the film substrate, preventing flakes, scratches, rub offs or streaks.
Deep dying technology is available on film thicknesses ranging from 48 gauge to 14.0 mils (12 to 350 microns) and available substrates include filled, unfilled, matte or scratch-brushed polyester (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) as well as other required substrate materials. Flexvue deep-dyed films may also be metallized for heightened brilliance and our range of dying is extensive, featuring:
- Light transmission from 85% VLT 85% VLT to 5% VLT (lower at some wavelengths)
- Optical density from 0.10 to 1.3
- UV protection up to 97% absorption
The team at Flexvue films works directly with our customers to assess needs and provide the appropriate solution for specific applications.
